The Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei is the dominant crustacean species in global seafood mariculture. Understanding the genome and genetic architecture is useful for deciphering complex traits and accelerating the breeding program in shrimp. In this study, a genome survey was conducted and a high-density linkage map was constructed using a next-generation sequencing approach. The geno...

Infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV) causes significant economic losses in farmed shrimp, where associated mortality in ponds can reach 70 %. To explore host/pathogen interactions, a next-generation sequencing approach using lymphoid organ tissue from IMNV-infected Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp was conducted. Preliminary sequence assembly of just the virus showed that there were at least an additi...

Molecular response of carbohydrate metabolism in Litopenaeus vannamei was evaluated at transcriptional level through quantitative real-time PCR analysis. The mRNA expressions of six genes hexose-6-phosphotransferase, pyruvate kinase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, crustacean hyperglycemic hormone, glucose transporter and insulin-like growth factors binding protein in the hepatopancreas, mus...

the study of changes the amount of protein, lipid, carbohydrates, fiber, ash and moisture of farmed litopenaeus vannamei at different stages of growth was performed. samples at the stages of post larvae 12, shrimp with 1, 2 and 3 months age, grow-out and market shrimp at the end of the period were provided from hatchery and breeding centers in khuzestan province. chemical composition w measured...

O crescimento da carcinicultura tem contribuído para diversificação alimentar, geração de empregos e renda, destacando-se assim a sua importância socioeconômica. Dentre as espécies mais cultivadas destaca-se o camarão marinho Litopenaeus vannamei, por apresentar alta resistência diferentes condições, além rápido sobrevivência. Fatores ambientais como fotoperíodo podem contribuir com melhorias n...

Shrimp farmers have reported mass mortality of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), reaching 2-3 kg/day in Gerongan Village, Kraton District, Pasuruan Regency mid-2021. Preliminary analysis suggests that was caused by bacterial diseases. Thus, to find out the main pathogen causing mortality, present study investigated microbial composition rearing media vannamei) infected feces disease (WFD) an...

It has been found that appropriate probiotic applications increased growth performance and disease resistance in shrimp. Bacillus subtilis has been suggested as a potent probiotic in improving growth performance and enhancing immune response in white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. The aim of this work was to evaluate the possible effect of B. subtilis administration on the meat fatty acid profil...

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the most contagious pathogen of cultured shrimp, causes mass mortality, leading to huge economic loss to the shrimp industry. The lack of effective therapeutic or prophylactic measures has aggravated the situation, necessitating the development of antiviral drugs. With this objective, the antiviral activity of the drug, (TP22C derived from the terrestrial plant...
